Painted My Truck With A Roller

daArch

TOO DAMN FUNNY !!!!

ModernStyle, post a pict of her van, I'm awfully good with Paint Shop Pro, I'll "paint" her van bright green or hot pink, what ever you want. And most likely it'll even be shaded properly.

(like I have free time, but I"LL MAKE SOME for this)

Ok I have some pics of the truck and of my wifes van, now how do i post them here? I put on closeup of the fender in the gallery but dont want to use up that area, I figure I should stick to this thread. I tried to attach them but they are too big, I dont know much about computers so bare with me ..... or I will paint your truck next.

When I was a kid some guys down the street were painting their car with 3" rollers. I laughed! Looked like they used house paint also. Yours looks much better than theirs did.

Just today I told my production manager I would gladly paint his truck white or construction orange for no cost to him. I have a sprayer which sprays auto type enamel paints. It also sprays latex, which is why I have it. I paid like $50 at home depot.

No doubt the finish won't be the greatest, but it'll be better than it is now... and good enough for a work truck.

man that looks bad, it was drying real fast, now everyone will think I cant paint. Oh well, you guys werent gonna hire me anyway

We used to pull the beaters in the shop in the winter and roll indusrial enamel on them and the lifts.

I had a nissan pick up I pulled in the barn used spray cans and painted the upper half silver and the lower light blue and topped it off with a clear coat. I used about 10 cans of paint and 5 cans of clear. It looked great had a guy offer me a thousand more than I paid for it two weeks later..... SOLD

Dude, those colors are perfect. They look just like 2 gallons I bought to paint my daughters room with, she wanted a Dora the Explorer room. My wife vetoed the idea because she didnt want me to have to paint all of my daughters new bedroom furniture to match. Since then I have been trying to get people to take that paint but nobody will, she will believe that I painted her van with them I have no doubt about that.

The program I got from ICI does pretty much the same thing, it sucks to get all the little pixels the right color but once you do a picture you can change the color a million times no problem. I have really only used it for one HO and she drove me up the wall with new color combinations everyday she wanted me to try. I should have charged her for the printer ink cartridges I used, they aint cheap, everytime they run out I consider just buying a new printer, it cost about the same.

Boy, the feces is gonna make forceful contact with the rotary airfoil in your household. Hope she's got a good sense of humor.

ModernStyle

I mailed it to her last night, she called about 2 hours later. All she said was "You are buying me a new van". I told her it was Dora the Explorer and that the kids were gonna love it. She said that was fine,me and the kids could ride around in it all day if we liked, but she was getting a new van. I dont really think she was real pissed, she always hated that van ffrom the day I bought it, she wanted a Honda and I got her a Pontiac. I think deep down she saw this as her chance for a new Honda, from the first day she has been trying to tell me that the Pontiac would make a great paint van. Maybe when she calls tonight I will break her heart and tell her that I really didnt ppaint the van and that there is no new HOnda in her future. I wish I knew somebody with an old VW van that I could have setting in the driveway waiting for her when she got home. I had her convinced that I was going to buy her one of those that was painted like the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. I guess I have a problem with cartoon vans .......

Don't tell her until she gets home

ModernStyle

Every time it rains it leaves water spots on my truck, they go away after awhile. Maybe I should have thought this through a little better .....

Take a six pack of his/her favorite beverage over and BRIBE 'em to play along with the joke. Tell 'em to call the wife and say he/she was afraid to tell the truth, but in fact the van is pink and green

Not too bad! I would of Bondoed the rust throughs.

Here's some pics of a '62 Buick Invicta surf wagon that I did back in the '60's. One of the previous owners had dropped in the 455 Wildcat engine with hemi's + exhaust system. This baby could fire the tires from a 35 MPH rolling start. The paint was done with LOTS of spray bombs.





Note the 'stang' in the background. I don't remember who it belonged to, mine was a white conv.
